Clearly I'm on the latest Gretl version, not 2018b((20181). But appear to
be on the latest StrucBreak Package.

Brian, it looks like you're talking about or contributed package
StrucBreak, and furthermore it seems to me you might be using an
outdated version of it. Indeed, our changelog for the current version
0.91 contains the entry: "fix show-stopping problem in the GUI with
the X list".
What's your installed version of the package?
* And Brian replied:
Hi Sven, Version 2023c of Gretl. and StrucBreak 09.1
* Allin now says:
I just download the current StrucBreak 0.91 (dated 2021-07-20) and its
code contains no occurrence of the statement shown in the error Brian
reported, namely
list X = !nelem(X) ? null : X
Brian, are you sure that's the version you're using? To verify, open
the gretl console and type
include StrucBreak.gfn
You should see
StrucBreak 0.91, 2021-07-20 (Riccardo "Jack" Lucchetti and Sven
Schreiber)
Or alternatively, type
pkg query StrucBreak
in which case you should see several lines of output, among which
Package: StrucBreak 0.91 (2021-07-20)
